Two thirds said it would impact their decision to move to a future employer.

In a time of wage stagnation, benefits packages are becoming increasingly important when it comes to attracting young talent, Equiniti said.

The research found 41% of people under 35 said wider benefits had impacted their decision to join their current employer. This figure rocketed to 86% when asked about moving jobs in the future.

Only 30% of those over 45 said benefits had impact their decision to move to their current employer.

Phil Ainsley, Equiniti’s managing director of employee services, said young employees are looking for a reward and benefits package which enhances their lifestyle or improves their overall financial wellbeing.
